miscarriage), memory - box makers, authors (there are
books for almost every subject on this topic waiting to be discovered), research and education groups, story - sharing sites, support groups, chat groups, blogs, Facebook groups, foot / hand print kits, music and funeral planning resources... Consider starting here before starting something new.
